OOTP 15 Review - An Improvement on (near) Perfection

Recommended Posts

OOTP 15 (PC, Mac, Linux) Review, An Improvement on (near) Perfection by Brandon Warne.

From the very get-go, one gets the sense that OOTP 15 is going to be an immersive experience.

Just by virtue of selecting “new standard game” -- one of eight different first screen options -- the user is confronted with the decision whether to take the more standard path with a new league based on 2014 MLB rosters and schedules, or whether to choose between seven other national leagues from all across the world. At that point, you get to choose whether you’d like to be commish (all powerful), GM (just like MLB), or can’t be fired, for which the game quips “some Yankees managers of the past would have liked this option!” Humor is evident in all facets of the game, giving it good character for what’s ultimately a text-based game.

Taking a more customized route is also an option, as users can choose to create a historical season from any year spanning from 1871 to 2013, with each era being given a special distinction, and each year getting a couple paragraphs of a summary (such as 1987 being the year the Twins defeated the Cardinals in the World Series, and George Bell won the AL MVP). Other options include real world and fictional leagues, which can be tailored to the player’s liking in pretty much every way one could conceive. The next level tweaking that can be done includes minor league, financial, and special historic options such as era-specific strategies.

Nice read Brandon! The new OOTP really is a step up on the previous version - no idea how that was possible but Markus managed it!

 

I LOVE THIS! - Might in fact be too time consuming for anyone who wants outside life. Seriously. :D
